Question

WHich city in ITaly should I be most careful in not to get robbed/pickpocketed or Hustled?

Answer 1

Naples.  Always wear a money belt just to be safe.  I just got back from Italy 2 weeks ago and I never once felt threatened.  But I felt the least safe in Naples.  I always wore a money belt so I didn't have to worry as much about pick pocketers.

Answer 2

Every city!! My parents went there and they almost got robbed and they saw it happen alot too. Try learning the way the money works so you don't get cheated when you buy something.

Answer 3

ALL OF THE MAJOR CITIES.

keep your items close to you at all times.

It's hard to say one specific spot because I don't want to give you a false sense of security anywhere else. Therefore, be careful all over but Napoli is def a place to be on high alert!

Answer 11

Rome, it was the only place I was told about and happened at the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain. They will try to force a rose in your hand and then you will have to pay for it if you grab it. All I did was shout NO and they left alone.

Answer 12

It really doesn't matter which city you are in. The best thing to do is be aware of your surrounding, do not carry a lot cash , wear a money belt. If you wear shorts or pants, do not carry your money in your back pocket or if you are wearing those cargo type shorts/pants do not place your money in the pockets.  

Be aware on the buses, metro, at the train stations and in crowds.  

Put your wallet in a shirt pocket with a button closure or in a pocket with a closure, not the back pocket. You should carry only small amount a cash in your shirt pocket. If  you are going to use your credit card or need additional $$ , be aware of your surroundings when you go to retrieve things from your money belt. If you are in a restaurant, go to the bathroom and act as if you need to use the toliet and go inside the stall to get what you need.

When traveling with a back pack wear it in the front and do not put your   important documents inside.  Put your important documents, credit cards, atm card, etc. in your money belt hidden inside your pants.

Answer 13

Napoli (Naples) has a very high crime rate. If you going there better to take a bit extra care!!
